Zags Escape First Round In March Madness

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A March Madness warm-up turned into a great escape for Gonzaga. The Zags got pushed to the limit by Southern yesterday, pulling out a 64-58 victory in the closing minutes to avoid becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose to a 16 in the NCAA tournament. Kelly Olynyk led the Zags with 21 points. They play No. 9 Wichita State on Saturday.
